It may be the remake but the original version of Quo Vadis was the first film screened at the Alhambra. An opportunity then to see one of the true milestones of the cinema.

Critics

“For sheer size, opulence and technical razzle-dazzle, Quo Vadis is the year's most impressive cinematic sight-seeing spree.”

Time Magazine 1951

“Everyone should see Quo Vadis. Once.”
